(2025) The bulk of the fruit comes from a dry-farmed vineyard at the highest point on Bald Mountain, planted on volcanic soil. The wine was aged in French oak. Lightly candied but clear on the nose, the fruit dominates, but a subtle stone fruit and citrus character rather than anything tropical. There's a little ozoney hint of saltiness. In the mouth it is juicy, fleet-footed style. Only 30% goes through malolactic fermentation.The fruit is racy and tart, the creamy almond oak just fills out toward the finish, but this has some phenolic heft too, giving it some grip into a nicely balanced, clear and acid-driven finish.
